Duquesne is the A-10 final??

No, really. Duquesne faces Temple right now on ESPN. The Dukes haven't been to the NCAA tourney in 32 years, and I don't think I've ever seen the Duquesne logo on TV before. Pretty weird.

They've gone on a run in the A-10 tourney, beating UMass, URI and Dayton, while Temple has beaten St. Joe's and Xavier. Either way, the A-10 will get 3 teams in the tourney (Xavier and Dayton) and the ESPN commentators have been calling the league the best outside the Big 6. Nice to get some props, though too bad GW isn't in the picture.
